The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 243 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this material provides a smooth finish and durability, making it a reliable choice for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Each skein contains 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, allowing you to easily separate the fibers to adjust the thickness of your stitches. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 910 and Anchor 228, which helps you maintain consistency if you are adding to an existing project or matching different brands.
